Day One Is THURSDAY!
Our first day of school is THURSDAY and here is some helpful information
School starts at 8:00 a.m. just like EVERY DAY.
On this first day, we'll start in the auditorium then have a ten-minute "walk-through" of each class period. Students will need their schedules for this!
After the walk-through, students will have three consecutive breakout meetings until 11:00.
Mass at 11:00 a.m. When Mass ends, so does our first day.
You are welcome to attend Mass.
If you are picking up your student after Mass, plan on students being ready for pick up (in the circle drive) around 12:15.
Friday, August 16 is our first full day of classes and it's a normal class day.
Classes begin at 8:00 a.m. and end at 2:40 p.m.
School pictures will not be taken on the first or second day.

On Saturday, August 24, our annual Freshman/Senior Cookout kicks off a fun evening at 6:30 p.m. outside behind our cafeteria This event is open to Freshmen and Seniors only and is a great opportunity to get to know each other.
THEN ALL STUDENTS IN ALL GRADES ARE WELCOME TO JOIN US as we move inside the cafeteria after the cookout for our all-school Welcome Back Dance from 8:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. The dance has a $3 admission charge BUT
freshmen are free. It's a Beach Theme so the dress code is casual, comfortable and modest beach attire (tops should cover to the waist). Proceeds from the dance go to our Senior Charity, The Penguin Project.
Student Accident Insurance
We would like to introduce you to the Diocese of Peoria Blanket Student and Athletic Accident Insurance Plan. Starting with the 2019-2020 year, all students are insured under a Diocesan program that covers all school sponsored and supervised activities. The program is secondary or excess to all primary health insurance plans and is designed to cover copays and deductibles. Here's a
full description of coverage.
Parents Please Consider Giving Your Time In Adoration
Weekly Friday adoration will be starting soon. Parent adorers are wonderful witnesses of faith for our students and they enable us to have adoration available in the school. Any parents interested in signing up for an adoration time, please fill out this form.
School Supplies List
Here is a list of school supplies by class. In addition to this list, plan on spiral notebooks and pocket folders for each class and pens/pencils/highlighters for writing. If you do not see a certain class listed, that means your student will receive info on the first day of class. This is a Google Doc and may be updated again before the school year begins so be sure to check back occasionally.
